UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHARLES WVIES, OF FAULKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JAMESM. LOCKEY, OF SAME PLACE.

VISE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 449,987, dated April'7, 1891. Application filed July 1, 1890. Serial No. 357,451. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES WIES, of Faulkton, in the county of Faulkand State of South Dakota, have invented a new and useful Improvement inVise Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an attachment for vises by which to adapt them forsecuring beveled pieces or blocks; and the invention consists in certainnovel constructions and combinations of parts, as Willbe described andclaimed.

In the drawings, Figure Tie a top plan view of a vise, showingmyattachmentand a beveled or triangular piece held in place thereby. Fig.2 is a detail view of the attachment, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of oneof its sections.

The attachment consists of two sections A and B and the clamp-screw. Thesection A has at its ends ears a, which lap alongside the edges of onejaw of the vise, and the section is secured to such jaw by the set-screwG, by a turn of which the attachment may be secured to or released fromthe vise. The section B is pivoted centrally to the section A so it canrock to present its face parallel to that of the vise-jaw or at anysuitable angle thereto, as may be necessary to receive the tapered body.

By preference the meeting faces of the sections A B are both beveled offfrom their centers toward each end, as shown.

It is preferred to effect the pivoting of the sections by providing thesection A with a projecting lug D, which enters a socket or recess cl inthe section B, the said socket d being widened so the section B may berocked freely, as desired. This constitutes a simple form of pivot whichcan be effected in the casting ofthe parts, as will be readilyunderstood.

The attachment will be found quite convenient in securing tapered bodiesin a vise, and as it is easily applied and removed need form 110obstruction in the ordinary use of the vise.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. Theimproved attachment for Vises herein described, consisting of thesection B,provided centrally With'a socket d, and the section A,provided with means whereby it may be clamped to the vise-jaw, andprovided centrally with a forwardly-projected lug fitting loosely in thesocket d, forming a pivotal connection between the parts A and B, allsubstantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The hereindescribed attachment for Vises, consisting of the sectionA, provided with means by which it may be clamped to the vise-j aw, andhaving its front face beveled off from its center toward its oppositeends, and provided at its center with a forwardly -projected lug D, andthe section B, having -its.

rear face beveled off from its center toward its opposite ends, andprovided centrally with a socket d, adapted to receive the lug D,whereby to effect the pivoting of the section B, all substantially asand for the purposes set forth.

CHARLES WIES.
